Welcome to the EGGhead Forum - a great place to visit and packed with tips and EGGspert advice! You can also join the conversation and get more information and amazing kamado recipes by following Big Green Egg at:

Those are ceramic feet (not metal) in Max's picture of his turkey cook. They should come in one of the boxes with your egg, if you got it unassembled. They do not come with the XL because of the extra diameter and the potential for the base to crack under the weight. Their design function is to allow for air flow under the egg so the base doesn't get a wood table so hot it burns.

They should have come w/ your Egg - you should be able to go back to your dealer & get them for FREE.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

HH is right. come with the egg (unless an XL). some dealers who deliver an egg with a table or nest don't turn over the feet for some reason. but they are packaged with the egg from the factory, table or nest or not

I just got a XL egg and have installed firebricks for the XL to sit on. I was going to purchase the feet and sit my XL on them to allow for the airflow between the egg and the bricks. After reading this forum it sounds like I should not.
